Indian Hill lacrosse team runs with heart

The Indian Hill High School boys lacrosse team gets ready to run in the Heart Mini Marathon.

Indian Hill High School Boys Lacrosse Head Coach Spencer Dunning has led his team for the second year in a row in the America Heart Association Heart Mini Marathon.

The entire group of more than 50 team members, family, and friends came together to support the AHA in honor of teammates and families fighting heart disease and in memory of a dear friend of the Indian Hill Community, Caroline McKay.

McKay's influence and several team members' own experiences have given the team a greater sense of collective mission in the battle against cardiovascular diseases.

Fundraising efforts by the Indian Hill boys lacrosse team during the season support the Caroline McKay Foundation which funds a yearly scholarship for one high school student who exemplifies this spirit.

CM socks, designed by Ian McKay in memory of his mother, are now worn by the Indian Hill boys lacrosse team, Ian's college lacrosse team at Belmont Abbey, and several other U.S. collegiate athletic teams.

Runners braved 30 degree temperatures and snow flurries as they reached the finish line. Head Coach Spencer Dunning commented, "I am very proud of our lacrosse team and the Indian Hill Lacrosse community for showing their support for this cause. Although cold, the event was a lot of fun and we enjoyed taking part in the event again this year."

This event, close to the heart of the Indian Hill Lacrosse Team, brings the entire lacrosse family together and helps make a contribution to the local community and the greater community at large.
